I do thank you for the "I love you" and the "God bless you." I gratefully return such kindly sentiments.

But please refrain from putting down other people's Christian Faith when your actual knowledge about it is quite mistaken.

Like the song says, "Don't criticize what you can't understand."

And I will try to heed my own advice, knowing well my own limitations.

To: Mrs. Don-o

And I am painfully aware of my own limitations. So, God Bless and keep you. And, I do love you. We’ll meet someday, we may not know each other when we do—that is not important, we’ll be with our own Father, and He will call us His Sons and Daughters, and we will know Him because we will see Him as He is because we will be like Him.

I pray for this daily. And, I pray that everyone will come to know where they came from and Who is waiting to embrace them.

So, please Lord, God Bless us all and wait for everyone to enter into your salvation. Paul said, if I could take the blame and rescue my brothers and sisters I would. Paul grieved that so many of his Jewish brethren would not or could not see the Messiah. It broke his heart. He also knew that he was once just like them.

What that must have been on the Damascus Road. Saul became Paul and he under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit wrote all the letters that became the epistles.

That is breathtaking. It is beyond miraculous.

I have heard it said that all the heads in the church pews are grey. We are nearer to the end of life than we are to the beginning. We’re dying off.

In the age of silliness, Star Wars, Batman, Spiderman, cartoon creations, our children are ignorant.

Imagine a child, hearing of a supernatural being, a being of life, the author of all life, speaking the universe into existence.

Would that child not feel the awe of it? Spiderman?

All of us who love our Creator and appreciate what He did, knowing what He would do, before He did it, have to just fall down and cry out that we know what Jesus said, God with us, Immanuel, “there is no greater love than than a man who lays down his life for his brothers”. God, incarnate, called us his brothers, He said when people told him his mother and brothers and sisters were outside waiting to see Him, God, Jesus Christ said, “these are my mothers, my brothers and my sisters”.

That should just blow away anything you could ever read, learn or know.

It blows me away daily. I am not a good man. But, I have a Savior who was and he paid my debt in full.
